two hundred & fifty six: spoiled/spoilt

a common insult at our house was to be called a spoiled brat. which we got called if we didn’t express enough gratitude. so that’s what i’m thinking of. and how my dad has probably said something to that effect to my mom, or maybe to whoever will listen: that they clearly weren’t hard enough on me, because i’m an ungrateful, spoiled brat. i can see his lip curling now.
